Can anyone tell me if it is possbile for someone else to be logged onto my computer???

I got a new HP scanner/printer at Christmas and when it installed it changed the way my computer starts up. It used to go directly to my desktop before. But now it shows me a blue screen and I have to click on "Owner" to go to my desktop. I have no idea how this changed.

But I noticed something else today, that when I went to shut down my computer, I got a message that said something to the effect that "there are other people logged on to this computer and they might lose data by shutting down". Those aren't the exact words, but basically is what it said.

How can other people be looged into my computer??? Does this mean my computer has been hacked and someone is taking my information??

Check windows update and that you have all your Windows .net framework updated past 1.0 windows .net ads another user account and forces the welcom screen to appear. Run all the rest of the .net framework updates from Windows Update. The versions are 1.0 1.1 and I think its now at 2.0 and you should see the welcome screen disappear again.

If you were using anything that has to do with asp.net then you very well may have the other user activated on the machine. Or if you simply logged on as it then opened 1 folder and changed back to your Owner profile it too would give you the same error.
